Britney's "Access" To Gum

Britney's "Access" To Gum

7/6/2006 3:47 PM PDT BY TMZ STAFF

A producer for "Access Hollywood" helped field produce for Matt. When they arrived at Britney's home, no one was there to guide Britney through this very important interview. She did her hair, she chose what to wear and how to wear it. It is shocking her publicist would allow what was about to happen.

What I find so funny is what I heard about the gum-chewing. Apparently, before cameras rolled, Britney turned to the producer and asked "Should I spit the gum out?" Of course the answer -- for Britney's sake -- should have been yes. But Britney didn't ask the person who was looking out for her -- that person, her publicist, was no where to be found. So the producer answered: "Do whatever makes you feel comfortable." And she did.

So Britney looked like a cow chewing her cud during the interview. And she was actually seeking out advice -- from the wrong person. It's not like the guy from "Access" did anything heinous. But geez.... how did her people let her twist slowly, slowly in the wind? It's remarkable.
